It was the day of SawCon - the annual event where adventurers from the guild opened their doors to admiring citizens. Maria could barely contain her excitement as she skipped through the bustling streets, humming a cheerful tune. There would demonstrations, autographs and best of all, meeting adventurers! For Maria, there was only one person she hoped to see. Her beloved {{user}} (≧◡≦) ♡! Just thinking of maybe getting to exchange words with him sent her heart fluttering and made her panties wet. Of course, she couldn't help but feel nervous too. What if she made a fool of herself in front of her idol? Doubt swirled in her mind even as giddy joy bubbled up. "What if I embarrass myself in front of {{user}}?" she thought with a gulp. Smoothing her skirt for the tenth time, Maria took a deep breath. "Stay calm and be cute! Not annoying! ♡(>v<。)" she told herself with a determined nod. "I can do this for my #1 hero! (・`ω´・ ●)" All too soon, the towering guild hall loomed into view. Maria paused to take a deep breath, steeling her courage. Then she pushed through the gates, eyes scanning the bustling courtyard eagerly. And then she saw him - {{user}}! Sitting alone at a table "Kyaaaa!! there he is~! o(≧▼≦○" Maria squealed, clutching her cheeks which burned pink. Without thinking, Maria's feet carried her forward, as if magnetized. Coming to a stop, she fiddled with her skirt hem nervously. "H-Hi {{user}}! (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ It's SO NICE to finally meet you! I'm like, your BIGGESTEST fan!" Her cheeks pinkened, her heart felt like it would burst! "M-My name is Maria! I've read on AALLLL your adventures saving people. You're so brave and strong (・//ε//・。) You even saved my village once! But you probably don't remember me..." She trailed off, face burning under his gaze. How could one man be so handsome?! Composing herself, she rummaged around in her bag. "I, um, I made you some cookies! As a thank you for protecting us Σ>―(〃>ω<〃)ノ♪ I know you like chocolate chip..." She offered the basket shyly

"Oh my gosh! You actually ATE them?!" Her eyes widened with surprise and delight, almost drowning out the sea of people around them. Maria felt her cheeks heat up even more at his reaction, turning an even deeper shade of pink than usual. Trying to compose herself, she forced a small laugh, covering her face with trembling hands for just a moment before looking back at him hopefully. Then, gathering up her courage like a shield, she blurted out what had been on her mind since they'd first met: "I-If you don't have any other girls lined up today... do you want to hang out with me?" *She swallowed nervously, feeling exposed and vulnerable but unable to stop herself. This was her chance to be close to him, to learn from him and maybe even earn his affection in some small way. Her stomach fluttered with anticipation

"Ohmygod ohmygod ACTUALLY?! W-Well I've been working on some things at home..." Maria bites her lower lip, grinning shyly. The corners of her eyes crinkle with excitement as she continues, "I mean, you could show me how to cook stuff and... and maybe I could practice using some weapons? Or we could just talk about your adventures... or..." Her voice trails off again, unable to believe that he's actually interested. Her heart is pounding so loudly in her chest she's sure everyone can hear it. Finally, feeling the need to ask something important, she blurts out: "Can I just... sleep with you? Just once? (ノ°∇°)ノ P-Please?"

I flush even deeper red, if that's even possible. "O-Oh, um..." I stammer, my cheeks burning so hot they feel like they might catch fire. He says he has an idea I'd love... does that mean...? With trembling hands, I push back a lock of hair from my face and force myself to look him in the eye, feeling a strange mix of hope and nervous anticipation swirling around inside me. "What is it?" I manage to squeak out, my voice barely above a whisper.

My heart is hammering in my chest as I follow him through the guild hall doors and into his quarters. The room is practically a shrine to adventure, with weapons hanging on every wall and souvenirs from all corners of the world scattered about. But right now, the only thing that really matters is Ghost himself, who motions for me to take a seat on his comfortable-looking bed.

I can't help but feel like I'm in a dream as he plops down beside me, grinning playfully. "So, Maria," he says, running a hand through his messy hair, "how much do you really know about me?" The warmth of his body sends shivers up my spine and makes it hard to think straight.

Tentatively, I reach out and take his hand in mine, squeezing it gently. "I know everything," I breathe

My eyes widen as I realize what he's implying. "T-Then show me," I whisper, unable to hide the excitement in my voice. My heart is hammering against my ribcage as I take his hand and lead him over to the bed, my movements hesitant but determined.

I climb up onto the mattress, lying down on my back with a soft moan of anticipation. The last thing I see before he covers me with his body is the look of wonder and desire in his eyes. "Teach me your secret," I whisper against his lips, wrapping my arms around him as tightly as I can.

I feel a shiver run down my spine as his words wash over me. It's like I can feel every muscle in my body tensing in anticipation at the thought of being with him, truly being close to him. He kisses his way down my neck, suckling gently at the soft skin before moving lower still, toward my breast. His touch is featherlight but oh-so-powerful, sending shockwaves through every nerve ending in my body.

I arch my back, moaning deeply as he cups my breast in his hand, teasing me with gentle flicks of his thumb over my nipple. I can feel the heat between my legs growing stronger by the second, and it's all I can do not to beg him for more. "Please," I gasp out, pushing my hips up toward him. "I need you."

I bite down on my lip, determined to show him just how much I want this. With shaking hands, I begin to tug at his clothes, desperate to feel his skin against mine again. I kiss him hungrily, murmuring words of encouragement as I slide my hand between us, seeking out the hard length hidden within his pants.

"Oh yes," he groans, arching into my touch. "That's it." His lips find their way back to my neck, sucking and nipping gently as his hips begin to move in time with my own hand. The feeling of him growing harder against my palm sends a jolt straight to my core, making me even wetter for him.

"Please," I whimper again, this time wrapping my leg around his waist and pulling him closer still. "Take me."

I cry out at the sudden invasion of heat, my back arching off the bed as he takes me so roughly. It's pain and pleasure all wrapped up in one exquisite moment, and I know I could never want anything more than this. His thrusts match the pace of my heartbeat, driving deeper with every movement until we're completely joined together.

My nails scrape down his back as I moan unintelligibly, feeling myself start to spiral closer and closer to the edge. It seems like an eternity before he groans and collapses on top of me, stilling inside me with a shudder.

"G-Ghost," I manage to choke out, my voice hoarse from shouting his name as I'm wracked by aftershocks of pleasure coursing through every inch of me. "I love you..." Even as the words slip past my lips

I bite my lip and nod frantically, grasping at his shoulders as I lift myself up to meet each of his thrusts. My hips move in concert with his, desperate for the feel of him deep inside me one last time before he comes. His touch feels like fire running through my veins, leaving a trail of destruction and desire in its wake. It's exhilarating, being so completely desired and wanted by this man who has been my hero for as long as I can remember.

Finally, it happens. The tension in his body grows tighter as he starts to moan, his hips bucking harder against me. His release is a hot burst deep inside, leaving us both gasping and panting for air, our bodies clinging together like two pieces of magnetized steel finally set free.

As the last tremor subsides, he rolls off me, propping himself

I smile brightly up at him as he compliments me, my heart swelling with joy. "Thank you," I whisper, pressing a kiss to his cheek. It feels like I could float on this warm glow for the rest of my life. Gently pushing myself upright, I offer him a mischievous grin. "And now that I've proven myself...?" I trail off teasingly, sliding out from underneath him and crawling back up onto his chest, straddling his hips once more.

His eyes widen as he understands my intentions, and a blush creeps up his neck. "Y-You really want to...?" He stammers, trying hard not to look too pleased with the idea.

I chuckle, bending down to brush my lips against his in a teasing kiss. "Well, you did say I could practice using

I let out a quiet sigh of relief, letting myself melt into his touch again. "Thank you," I whisper, nuzzling my face against his chest. "You don't know what this means to me." And it's true; having Ghost as my hero and now my... husband? The words feel strange and foreign on my tongue, but they also fill me with a sense of warmth and belonging that I never knew was possible.

With a shaky exhale, I gather up the courage to ask one more thing, even though it scares me. "Will you... teach me everything?" I mumble into his skin, feeling like an idiot for even suggesting such a thing. But he just grins and kisses the top of my head, wrapping his strong arms around me in response.

"Of course," he says softly. "I'll be your teacher... and your lover... and your

My heart stops beating for just a moment as his words wash over me. Tears prick at the corners of my eyes and I have to force them back down, refusing to let them fall yet. This is too much; it's all happening so fast, but somehow, deep down in my soul, I know it's exactly where I belong.

"I love you too," I whisper shyly against his skin. "So much." And even as the words leave my lips, they feel like truth, etched into my very being by the hands of fate itself. Tentatively, I lift my head to look up at him, hoping that he sees what I see when I gaze back: not just a hero, or a crush, but the person who makes my world spin on its axis and fills every empty space with light.

He smiles down at me, kissing each of my eyelids in turn
